Sitz, are you aware that Iran is inflicting economic harm on the world by restricting traffic in the strait of hormuz? You understand that that is their primary strategic objective-to inflict enough economic hardship that the US and Israel offer a ceasefire.

You understand that correct?

You do understand that the hardship imposed by Iran can ONLY be relieved by not only opening the SoH but also having the Gulf states pumping and loading the oil at levels similar to what they were pumping before the war.

You get that, right? That victory for Israel and America is not measured by blowing up equipment but by imposing their will sufficient to clear that "pipeline" of oil and LNG and fertilizer and helium etc.

You understand that, right?

That if you blow up 98% of Iran's rockets and missiles and drone and artillery and mines and boats and submarines, Iran can STILL close that pipeline, because private companies need to be convinced to move their ships through and the Gulf states need to be able to pump oil into said ships.

You understand that, right?

Are America and Israel days away from destroying 100% and VERIFYING said 100% of Iranian weapons such that private companies will risk their ships?

If the answer is no, then we are looking at a massive world wide recession that will make 2008 and 2020 look like child's play.

You think the only thing that will be impacted are people's energy rates you are, well, stupid.

So, apparently we attacked Iran's nuclear power plant and largest natural gas field

So, umm not good, as Iran is going to escalate

Iran responded by hitting Qatar's oil fields/

This is very very bad

The killing of Ali Larijani shows that Israel is not interested in a negotiated peace.

Larijani, while despicable was a key figure in negotiations. He is the guy that Whitkoff supposedly had back door contact with.

So, umm, killing him shows that negotiations are not on the table.

Again, America is LOSING this war. At some point Piggy will realize that and ask for a ceasefire.

the ONLY question is how much the cost will be before Piggy comes to that realization.

Fortunately, Piggy is well known for his level headed decision making and deep knowledge on middle east politics and nuclear disarmament.

Yeah who cares about the famine that will sweep the globe, amirite!

To be absolutely clear Israel is pursuing a course of action designed to prevent any negotiated ceasefire. They are assassinating the decision makers in the government and are targeting civilian infrastructure including Iran's oil production. These attacks are designed to escalate the conflict

Is Israel ignoring Piggy? Is Israel controllable?

Is Israel leading the US into a quagmire?

We need to cut off Israel IMMEDIATELY
